2 hours with my jaw clenched...

Rating: 10/10 (16 June 2003)

Before seeing the movie I'd read dozens of unfavorable reviews, complaining that the movie was unoriginal, and that it degenerated at the end. These people all seem to have missed the point...
Alright, there's nothing innovative about zombies, and there have been dozens of 'last man on Earth' movies. But the movie was well written, beautifully directed and ass-kickingly scary. Like all the best horror movies (including the original zombie masterpiece, Night of the Living Dead) the film focuses more on human interaction than gore. Unlike Resident Evil, the crap-fest to which everyone compares this movie, the characters are believable...and you care whether or not they survive.

28 Days Later mixes the best of Apocalypse movies with the best of intelligent horror. So ignore the slasher-fans who tear this movie down while gushing over the upcoming-yet-already-obsolete 'Jason vs. Freddy', and check it out as soon as possible...
